"""This is a bug compatible-ish[1] reimplementation of filter-branch, which
happens to be faster. The goal is _only_ to show filter-repo's flexibility
in re-implementing other types of history rewriting commands. It is not
meant for actual end-user use, because filter-branch (and thus
filter-lamely) is an abomination of user interfaces:
* it is difficult to learn, except for a few exceedingly trivial rewrites
* it is difficult to use; even for expert users like me I often have to
spend significant time to craft the filters to do what is needed
* it is painfully slow to use: the slow execution (even if filter-lamely
is several times faster than filter-branch it will still be far slower
than filter-repo) is doubly problematic because users have to retry
their commands often to see if they've crafted the right filters, so
the real execution time is much worse than what benchmarks typically
show. (Benchmarks don't include how long it took to come up with the
right command.)
* it provides really bad feedback: broken filters often modify history
incorrectly rather than providing errors; even when errors are printed,
it takes forever before the errors are shown, the errors are lost in
a sea of output, and no context about which commits were involved are
saved.
* users cannot share commands they come up with very well, because BSD vs.
GNU userland differences will result in errors -- causing the above
problems to be repeated and/or resulting in silent corruption of repos
* the usability defaults are atrocious...
* partial history rewrites
* backup to refs/original/
* no automatic post-run cleanup
* not pruning empty commits
* not rewriting commit hashes in commit messages
* ...and the atrocious defaults combine for even worse effects:
* users mix up old and new history, push both, things get merged, and
then they have even more of a mess with banned objects still floating
around
* since users can run arbitrary commands in the filters, relying on
the local repo to keep a backup of itself seems suspect
* refs/original/ doesn't correctly back up tags (it dereferences them),
so it isn't a safe mechanism for recovery even if all goes well
* even if the backups in refs/original/ were good, many users don't know
how to restore using that mechanism. So they clone before filtering
and just nuke the clone if the filtering goes poorly.
* --tag-name-filter writes out new tags but leaves the old ones around,
making claims like "just clone the repo to get rid of the old
history" a farce. It also makes it hard to extricate old vs. new
bits of history, as if the default to partial history rewrites wasn't
bad enough
* since filtering can result in lots of empty commits, filter-branch at
least provides an option to nuke all empty commits, but naturally
that includes the empty commits that were intentionally added to the
original reposository as opposed to just commits that become empty
due to filtering. And, for good measure, filter-branch's --prune-empty
actually still misses some commits that become empty.
* it's extremely difficult in filter-branch to rewrite commit hashes in
commit messages sanely. It requires using undocumented capabilities
and even then is going to be extremely painful and slow. As long as
--commit-filter isn't used, I could do it in filter-lamely with just
a one-line change, but the point was demonstrating compatibility with
a horrible tool, not showing how we can make it ever so slightly less
awful.
[1] Replacing git-filter-branch with this script will still pass all the
git-v2.22.0 regression tests. However, I know those tests aren't
thorough enough and that I did break backward compatibility in some
cases. But, assuming people are crazy enough to want filter-branch to
continue to exist, I assert that filter-lamely would be a better
filter-branch due to its improved speed. I won't maintain or improve
filter-lamely though, because the only proper thing to do with
filter-branch is attempt to rewrite our collective history so that
people are unaware of its existence. People should use filter-repo
instead.
Intentional differences from git-filter-branch:
* (Perf) --tree-filter and --index-filter only operate on files that have
changed since the previous commit, which significantly reduces the amount
of work needed. This requires special efforts to correctly handle deletes
when the filters attempt to rename files, but provides significant perf
improvements. There is a vanishingly small chance that someone out there
is depending on rewriting all files in every commit and does so
differently depending on topology of commits instead of contents of files
and is thus adversely affected by this change. I doubt it, though.
* I vastly simplified the map() function to just ignore writing out the
mapping; I've never seen anyone explicitly use it, and filter-repo
handles remapping to ancestors without it. I dare you to find anyone
that was reading the $workdir/../map/ directory and using it in their
filtering.
* When git-replace was introduced, --parent-filter became obsolete and
deprecated IMO. As such, I didn't bother reimplementing. If I were
to reimplement it, I'd just do an extra loop over commits and invoke
git-replace based on the --parent-filter output or something similar
to that.
* I took a bit of liberty in the implementation of --state-branch; I
still pass the regression tests, but I kind of violated the spirit of
the option. I may actually circle back and fix this, if I add such
a similarly named option to filter-repo.
